I know that there was no malice intended, but knowing where I started, that I've put a lot of effort into this, and that I was likely a bit proud to be able to post a photo of the car sitting on the ground; the only response that comes to mind is the old quote about "beauty being in the eye of the beholder." I have to believe that you, I and the rest of the TB family of crazies, hang out here because a smile comes to our faces when we look at, work on, and drive these cars. And I think that's beautiful. Even if it is ugly.

Dropped her at the alignment shop. The manual steering is fine. Very light, even at low speeds. More turns lock to lock, but that's fine. The new (used) tires absolutely transform the car. No longer feels like a death trap. Had it in 5th gear for the first time. Sublime... Got to fix the signals and tail lights. And that head light... Something wrong with the brakes. Going to have a pro bleed them and see what we have. Exhaust sounds good. Going to have it plumbed out the back with just the front muffler. Pretty stoked. Really a fun car to drive. Haven't had a stick shift in 20 years. Kind of like riding a bike.

With the bumper sitting properly, and front trim installed, the ugliness of that front panel would probably almost disappear.

There is a little post/clip on the front bumper that keeps it from drooping. If you are lucky, it has just come loose. If you aren't, its broken. The JY should pretty easily provide with a little patience. The trim can be harder to find, but should be do-able. Redwood Chair may have some for you. The little clips that hold it on can be removed from a JY car by carefully pushing out the pin from the back side with a small pin punch and then pulling it out the front. It will likely take several trips to the JY to accumulate a full set. Be sure to fully seat the trim so you don't lose it on the highway.... Oh, and a few whacks with a dead blow mallet will take care of most of the wonkiness of the panel. You can actually pull it from the car to do so by cutting a couple rivets on each side. Nothing fancy there, just pop rivets.
